Advanced DMZ Host Page
Specify the default recipient of WAN traffic that NAT is unable to translate to a known local PC. The DMZ
For example, you can set up a web server on a DMZ computer to enable outside users to access your website without exposing confidential data on your network.
A DMZ is also useful to play interactive games that may have a problem running through a firewall. You can leave a computer used for gaming only exposed to the Internet while protecting the rest of your network.
You can configure one PC to be the DMZ host. This setting is generally used for PCs using problem applications that use random port numbers and do not function correctly with specific port triggers or the port forwarding setups. If you set up a PC as a DMZ Host, set this back to zero when you are finished with the needed application, since this PC will be effectively exposed to the public Internet, though still protected from Denial of Service (DoS) attacks via the Firewall.
Setting Up the DMZ Host
1.Enter the computer’s IP address.
2.Click Apply to activate the selected computer as the DMZ host.
Advanced Routing Information Protocol Setup Page
Configure Routing Information Protocol (RIP) parameters related to authentication, destination IP address/subnet mask, and reporting intervals. RIP automatically identifies and uses the best and quickest route to any given destination address. The RIP protocol requires negotiation from both sides (CMRG and CMTS) of the network. The ISP usually sets this up to match their CMTS settings with the configuration in the CMRG.
Note: RIP messaging is sent upstream only when running in Static IP Addressing mode on the Basic Setup page. You must enable Static IP Addressing and then set the WAN IP network information! RIP is normally a function that is tightly controlled via the ISP. RIP Authentication Keys and IDs are normally held as secret information from the end user to prevent unauthorized RIP settings.
